Synergising India Africa Relations

India-Africa relations have intensified across a range of sectors as a consequence of the India Africa Forum Summit process. Since India opened new diplomatic missions in Africa to expand its footprint, it has engaged African countries on global issues such as climate change and health and worked to promote mutually beneficial trade and investment relationships. Over the years, developmental cooperation between India and Africa has expanded and now India is considered a major partner for African states. Besides, there is scope to deepen people-to-people contacts by promoting sports, tourism, and media-related ties. This book is a compilation of the themes (mentioned below) and attempts to offer a platform for a candid exchange of views. This book is an attempt to bring together academia, strategic thinkers, and policy makers from India and African countries to discuss and evaluate India’s partnership with Africa in various sectors and explore new emerging areas of cooperation to further strengthen India-Africa ties.
